I was seen recently by Dr Munnelly for laser treatment for my Cambell de Morgan lesions. I have always hated these lesions & have been embarrassed by them for several years & only when during last summer when wearing a T shirt & a friend noticed a collection of them on my upper arm & questioned as to what they were, prompted me to do something about them. I needed just one session with Dr Munnelly with a follow up visit to assess how successful the treatment went, this also included a second round of laser treatment just to double ensure they would all disappear. The two visits & treatments were both included in a fixed price [no hidden extras]. I am absolutely delighted with the result as all the lesions have faded away to invisability. When seen by Dr Munnelly my treatment was all done with the minimal of fuss & his support staff were all very professional & friendly. My only regret is I hadn't had this treatment done years ago.
The Chiltern Medical Clinic at Goring on Thames was the fifth clinic that I had visited for a consultation and I knew within minutes of meeting Dr. Vlok and Gina that I wanted to have my treatment there. They were direct, helpful, honest, kind, considerate and practical in all that they said and did. I received regular communication from Gina before the procedure and was helped in every possible way throughout and after the treatment. I am absolutely delighted that I chose this clinic.
